And then there's the thrill of having to pay double price for half-sized stuff. I had a cake today that must have been, no kidding, 4cm x 4cm and about the same height. And I bet it cost 400 yen. -
Good, but not as good as that first one.

I took some backups and did the download, took a while but I was out of the room when it was being done. No need for backups it all went ok.

...however much I want to be on tv!

This weekend for me is beer, food, movies. Sod the rain, not going out in that.

They're the best part of CNN. Shut up, we want more!

I don't think they're that limited - the REM best of limited version that had an extra cd of b-sides/rare tracks that was released quite a while back (early this year, maybe even last year) is still available on amazon. It just makes it sound better if it is "limited".

This guy was on the news the other day (cnn?, cant remember) - very cool dude.

I use .com mostly and it usually takes about a week maybe a bit longer once they tell me its been sent out.

Lots of people do use Jet as a way to get to Japan, then move on when they are here.

I got a mini basePod for my birthday, blue one. Very small. I've been using it for about 3 weeks now and I got about 7 and a half of continuous play out of it on the plane. Nice machine (especially when someone gives it to you)

base40 replied to MACHINE's topic in General off-topic discussions
Approx prices Skyliner 1800 yen Narita Express 3000 yen RIPOFF. -
Many places don't do that (is it actually legal?) Many of the big online shops don't ship electronics / software etc outside of the original country - I've tried a few times myself.

Were they kidding, perhaps? Hard to believe that. Nice arse though.

Inventions with roots in sci-fi - lots of 'em. Take a look at some. http://www.technovelgy.com/

That Radcliffe entered the 10000 as well and flunked that last night - a bit predictable (the flunking)

Sports that should not be in the Olympics

Need judges? Get 'em out of the Olympics. -
So, what do we reckon. I think there's way too many, and anything that requires a judge should be OUT. Did you see the high bar yesterday? Why did they change that score once it had been judged??

I'm still here and got 2 weeks off - spending my time sleeping and chilling out. Good recharge time.

An average of 9 a night the last 2 weeks. Ace.

I had similar experiences and would wait. Not good enough yet.
